<tip type="CSS,NN4.x">
Surprisingly, Navigator 4.x has support for some CSS background 
image properties.  However, there are bugs:

- The repeating image problem that shows its head in nested tables 
with background images called via HTML still applies.  If you nest a 
table within cell with a background image declared via CSS, the 
image will re-start its tile within each nested element.

- If you don't declare a background color via CSS, and your image 
is missing or does not tile (thanks to the background-repeat 
property), any space not covered by the image will display other 
(seemingly random) elements from the page as artifacts.  You can 
alleviate this by declaring a background color with your CSS before 
the background image declaration.

A longhand inline CSS example of background properties that will 
work in both NN4.x+ and IE4.x+:

<td style="background-color:#ffffff;background-
image:url(../images/sidebar_foot.jpg);background-repeat:no-
repeat;">foo</td>
